Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Meat Loaf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bojangles McFly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Loaf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to War is my destiny. McFly is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hillbillies on Speed-Hillbilly Hellcats. Meat Loaf has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
